Chapter 291: Chapter 234 Is There a Possibility That I Am Truly Gaining Enlightenment_3
Over time, Liang Qing’s economic foundation had likewise changed, and he set his sights on the superstructure.
“Steward, why hasn’t Father Emperor bestowed upon me the title of Crown Prince yet?”
The steward, drenched in sweat, replied, “Your Highness, a humble servant would not dare to speculate on His Majesty’s intentions!”
Liang Qing, looking at the list of gifts, mused, “If everyone else knows to send gifts, should we also send some to try our luck?”
The steward thought it was a good idea. The Emperor of Liang enjoyed playing, and if Liang Qing could gift something intriguing to His Majesty, it just might secure the position of Crown Prince for him.
“Your Highness, His Majesty lacks no treasures. If you truly wish to gift something, why not send something creative?”
“Something creative, eh?”
Liang Qing thought that the most unique thing he had was the Enlightenment Talisman custom-ordered from Jiang Cheng, drawn only after the Linlan Sect granted Jiang Cheng numerous benefits.
It possessed various attributes such as rarity, preciousness, and uniqueness to the maximum degree.
He would gift the Enlightenment Talisman!
Emperor Liang Heng was sitting cross-legged inside an inner chamber, having not gone anywhere.

Not too long ago, he had suffered greatly from the Heavenly Tribulation of Foundation Establishment. Although he could have fled, somehow, for some reason, the tribulation caught up with him and struck him nearly to death.
The bad news was that his Divinity Transformation was flawed, and his realm unstable.
But the good news was that due to this misfortune, he was, through the refinement of the heavenly lightning, able to glimpse a sliver of hope for advancing to the mid-stage of Divinity Transformation!
Previously, Liang Heng, being unable to advance his realm, had put his hopes on the younger members of the royal family. Now that he himself could pursue the path of eternal life, who would want to remain confined to the vicinity of the Liang Kingdom?
Liang Heng planned to first solidify his realm before casually choosing a Prince to become Emperor while he would take the role of a hands-off shopkeeper, traveling elsewhere on the continent in search of the Dao.
The prosperity of the royal family was important but, important as it was, it could not compare to the power of a Void Refinement Cultivator!
Qi Cultivation, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Divinity Transformation, Void Refinement…
Void Refinement Cultivators, even among the Immortal Sects, were not to be underestimated.
As long as one reached Void Refinement, the rise and fall of the Liang Kingdom would be merely a matter of his word, wouldn’t it?
To forsake the prospects of the Dao for a worldly throne would be to place the cart before the horse.
The Judicial Steward conveyed telepathically to Liang Heng, “Ancestor, Liang Qing is at the entrance of the sleeping chambers, claiming to bring you a gift. Should we accept it?”
Originally, Liang Heng would certainly have refused, but Liang Qing was Great Liang’s sole Prince, and he now had people in mind for selection, so it would not be appropriate to reject him outright.
“Accept it.”
Liang Qing’s gift list successfully made its way inside.
Upon reviewing the gift list, the first item that caught Liang Heng’s eye was a peculiar talisman.
It was named the “Enlightenment Experience Talisman.”
Liang Heng was naturally well-acquainted with the renowned concept of Enlightenment, but what in the world did “experience” mean?
Could this thing even provide an experience?
“Bring me the talisman!”
The waiting eunuch immediately presented the Enlightenment Experience Talisman.
Liang Heng examined the talisman, thinking it was interesting.
This talisman used some spells for flash to deceive onlookers and other spells to invigorate the mind in order to fool the wearer.
In plain terms, it was all show with no real use.
However, despite saying so, Liang Heng still picked up a talisman and “experienced” the sensation of Enlightenment.
Because he, too, could not escape convention and resist the temptation of Enlightenment.
Who knew, this Dao seemed to actually enlighten him!
Liang Heng felt his body become light, as if his soul, beyond his control, separated from his body.
He did not ascend, yet the sky felt so close as though he could touch it by simply reaching out.
In this moment, time seemed to halt. He was aware of the shifting light upon the ground of the Emperor’s sleeping quarters, yet he felt no passage of time.
A single blink lasted for many suns and moons.
Countless cycles of the sun and moon went by, and suddenly Liang Heng realized that he seemed to be undergoing Enlightenment!
And he was close to being successful in Enlightenment!
Liang Heng was overjoyed. If he successfully attained Enlightenment this time, he had at least a thirty percent chance of advancing to the Void Refinement Realm!
A full thirty percent!
Then Liang Heng saw Liang Qing barging into the sleeping chambers with the Enlightenment Experience Talisman, unleashing a verbal barrage at several Eunuch Stewards.
The Eunuch Stewards appeared persuaded by Liang Qing, hesitantly crossed in front of the inner screen, and approached him. He didn’t respond to their calls, and when they shook his shoulder, they completely disrupted his Enlightenment.
At that very moment, Liang Heng’s hopeful heart finally died.
His soul returned, and upon opening his eyes, Liang Heng heard Liang Qing exclaiming, “I saved Father Emperor! I saved Father Emperor!”
Liang Heng was a vision of agony.
He was so close to success!
“Make him leave quickly. I don’t want to see him.”
